India rolls out e-B-4 visa to attract foreign specialists

India Dec 18, 2025

India just launched the e-B-4 visa and a digital sponsorship system, making it much easier for companies to bring in foreign professionals for projects—especially in tech and manufacturing.
Now, businesses can generate sponsorship letters online and skip the old paperwork hassle.

Why does it matter?

This upgrade speeds up hiring engineers, experts, and executives from abroad for things like equipment setup, IT ramp-ups, or workforce training.
It replaces the slow old visa process with a quick digital one—already 129 sponsorships have been issued.
For companies (and anyone eyeing global careers), this means faster project launches and less red tape when working with international talent in India.
